Question

the surface area of a solid catalyst _______as the solid is pulverized​

Answer 1

The surface area of a solid catalyst increases as the solid is pulverized​.

Explanation:

• When a solid catalyst is pulverized, its surface area increases.
• This is because solid catalyst is broken down into fine powder, so its rigidity will decrease but its volume will increase.
• The rate of a chemical reaction increases with the increase in the surface area.
